  • Patent number: 10819298
    Abstract: A method and system is presented for coordinating the transmission of supplemental digital data to accompany broadcast data, and in particular, analog radio broadcasts, among a plurality of broadcasters. The supplemental digital data may provide information about the particular broadcast data being transmitted (i.e. cut data) or may be supplemental to such data (i.e. news, weather and traffic data). The supplemental digital data to be presented is sorted based on particular algorithms which may take into account broadcaster-specified criteria such as target audience, time of day, type of broadcast data presented, and the like. The supplemental digital data may be audio data, visual data, or audio-visual data for presentation with the broadcast data. The supplemental digital data may further be advertisement data. The advertisement data may be sold by the broadcasters or the party coordinating the IBOC transmission of the supplemental digital data.

  • Patent number: 10735178
    Abstract: A method and system for the transmission of digital data (210) over existing analog radio frequencies (230) is presented, wherein the digital data may include audio data, visual data or audio-visual data for presentation either with analog broadcast data or at a selectable time. The digital data may be transmitted over a plurality of sub-channels that have varying degrees or reliability (250). A “quality-of-service” process manages the transmission of digital data over various sub-channels based on the reliability of the sub-channel, the amount of digital data and the type of digital data to be transmitted. The digital data may further be encrypted and authenticated.

  • Patent number: 10311975
    Abstract: A care management system for improving the care of a client who is supported by a caregiver is described. The caregiver may participate in regular activities with the client and record these activities in the care management system. The care management system may present the caregiver with questions on a regular basis. Information may also be input into the system by a care management team made up of professionals responsible for the client's overall care. A risk analyzer may determine the client's risk for different risk conditions, and may calculate domain-specific and overall risk scores for the client. Furthermore, the risk analyzer may make recommendations for actions to be taken by the client, the caregiver, or the care management team in order to improve the client's care. The information in the care management system may be used by the care management team to direct aspects of the client's care.
